Crohn's Disease -- Maintenance - Has anyone got any advice on how I can cope with this disease?

I was recently diagnosed with what doctors believe is Chrohn's disease. I'm having a difficult time coping with it. I am on 500 mg's of pentasa and it doesn't seem to be helping much. I am an avid equestrian and have trouble getting up in the morning to go riding. Are there any suggestions anybody can make as to how they cope with this awful disease?

Hi I have Cronhn's and a botched operation to try and fix it . Now I am on permanent Disability. They may try to put you on a Cimza or Humara, they shut down your whole Immune system not good. They didn't work for me. Drop as much stress out of your life as you can.Your head is connected to your stomach. A low fiber diet .Check out this web site usdoctor.com and click on the Crohns testing . I wish I would have tried it before surgery.
